unless you find 12 ignorant people? Hmm....

Our country is as divided as it's been in eons. Good luck finding jurors. Change of venue? Tibet? ;)

1. We've got tons of ignorant people.

It isn't like we're running out of them here :-)

The challenge will be finding jurors that are both ignorant and competant.

But that's probably a lot easier than finding trials for celebrity sex crimes.

2. That's going to be a District jury, too.
And that's not likely the kind of jury pool the White House would prefer to draw from.

4. Of course you can.
There are lots and lots of people who are "apolitical", who don't live and breathe politics, parties, etc. More people knew about OJ and Michael Jackson then this case.
